The vuvuzela pissed me right off.. african instrument fucks

[Gabbastard]

Battlefield 3 will be way better i imagine.

I used to love COD, but going back to it after battlefield just isnt happening.

[CEdwards]

CoD will be game of the year, FACT!

[Morgan_VTR]

+1 BF3 ftw.

MW3 can be left for someone who can't be inventive with a Christmas present.

[haz_pro]

Tried battlefield 2, but just couldnt get on with the controls, no where near as smooth as COD.

I havent tried them on a PC though, used to like playing 1942 and vietnam on PC, no shoddy controls either.

[Morgan_VTR]

That's fair enough, I played them too - mainly the BF2 franchise and the expansions. Not doubting the game is better on PC. But I had to get my BF fix from somewhere when I switched to a console.

How long did you play it for? I was the same but got into it in the end, playing with people is so much better than lone wolfing it too.

[CEdwards]

Im only saying that because CoD is the only game i can get into it, i can play it for hours

[0rang3peel]

not sure about this tbh, sick of buying treyarch shit and I don't have as much faith in these developers as I did with infinty ward, it might be just as bad.

It also fucks me off how they release map packs so soon its money making bullshit.

BF2 was certainly a better game than black ops, mw2 was good though.

Don't think I will get this for awhile tbh

I played the demo like 4 times and deleted it because of the controls. Maybe I should have given it more of a chance!

[Catfish]

probley get this just for the campain, call of duty online has been ruined by hackers and children so not for me, still play it now and then, but defo battlefield series is better! more fun specially when your doing some true battlefield work, do work son, do work haha

effort!

[GolfJay]

It is happening and it is being paid for. However, it isn't to play online, its like an add-on

[CEdwards]

add on for what mate? cant think of anyone paying..

[Gabbastard]

are you kidding? Most people would pay for COD online. Well, their parents would, seeing as most the players are kids.

Copied and pasted...

Activision has described Call of Duty: Elite as "one of our most ambitious and exciting undertakings". The vast social networking system has been designed to revolutionise the way Call of Duty players meet, engage and compete online – and they'll have to pay a monthly subscription fee for the privilege.

It's a huge and controversial undertaking for the publisher, and a fascinating attempt to monetise the world of online shooter games. But how did the idea come about, and where is it going? To find out, we spoke to Activision Publishing's chief executive, Eric Hirshberg.

What are the origins of Call of Duty: Elite?

It started with us observing the number of hours people were spending playing multiplayer. This game has a certain long tail in that regard, and it's a year-round thing, it's not just focused on launch. We want to supercharge that multiplayer experience – it's as simple as that. Our culture has become more connected and there are a growing number of technologies to bring people together around the things they love. We're taking a lot of those patterns and applying them in a very focused way around Call of Duty.

What have been been the key influences on the design and structure of Elite? Have you looked mostly to social networking sites, or to digital content services such as Netflix?

The influences have been very wide. On one hand, we've looked at social media. We've taken a lot of pages from those playbooks in terms of giving people the ability to easily upload and create user-generated content, giving people lots of forums to post messages, giving people the ability to curate their friends and the people they connect with … All of that stuff is clearly influenced by trends in social media. But we also looked at complex financial sites – we asked: what's the best in class for presenting very deep statistical information to people in a very user-friendly way? A lot of sports sites, especially fantasy football sites, do that very well. We've also looked at other entertainment services outside gaming to get ideas – Netflix, iTunes, that sort of thing.

Elements of the Elite service will be free to all Call of Duty players – can you elaborate on what those are?

That hasn't been finalised. We're not revealing the specifics of the business model until the summer. But I will tell you there's a dual strategy in play. One element is to simply give back to our fans, and to help solidify their relationship with Call of Duty, and we think the deeper connection people feel with the community of players, the deeper connection they'll have with the game itself. The other part is, obviously, if we're able to create new services that have real value to people, then of course they'll be willing to pay for them. So there will be elements where, if you really want to supercharge the experience, you'll be able to do that.

You've introduced this Facebook Groups-like element, allowing players to find and play against competitors with similar interests outside the game. Is this all about creating a more welcoming environment for more casual gamers who have been reticent about trying online gaming?

Absolutely. If you look at the statistics, people spend an average of 58 minutes per day playing Black Ops in multiplayer. The average Facebook user spends 55 minutes per day on Facebook – so people are really engaged with this on an amazing level. And right now, you don't have a tremendous amount of control over that multiplayer experience, you don't have a lot of control over who you play against or connecting with or finding particular friends, or the ability to play against people of a similar skill level, or interests, or geography - and Elite gives you all of those tools. It gives you control – and that's what social networks are all about.

But a big part of what stops people playing online is that they don't want to play against strangers – and yet their friends are never online at the same time. This is what EA's Autolog system for Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit cleverly addressed: it allows people to compete against their friends' times and scores asynchronously. How much of that will be in Elite?

What Elite will do is give you the ability to curate a list of friends, and people you are interested in playing with and following – and you'll be constantly alerted to their progress, when they're playing. There's the online game, then there's online fame and we want to give people the ability to enjoy both.

You'll be able to mine masses of data from user activity on Elite – will this be used to shape future Call of Duty game content and design decisions?

Absolutely. From a pure product development standpoint, if Elite gains traction and is successful, we'll have the best feedback loop imaginable in terms of what's working and what isn't, what's frustrating people, and what could be better – we'll be using that dialogue with our fans constantly. I think all great software companies have that feedback – I can't count the number of times I've been using the iTunes Store or similar and there's an update, and the one thing that was bugging me, they somehow heard that and got it fixed. That's something I'm looking forward to with Call of Duty.

Is development of Elite an ongoing service? Will it evolve?

Yes, as with Facebook and iTunes, a product like this is never really done – you're constantly evolving and you're constantly responding to feedback, patterns and trends and making it better. There will be a tremendous ongoing investment in continual improvements.

Free or not, its still going to be full of wee guys with lightweight running around hardly firing a shot, just knifing everyone.

Call of Duty - Mediaeval Warfare.

[MickyWelsh172]

Cant get why everyone keeps saying it looks amazing? It looks absolutely no different to Modern Warfare 2, so whats gonna be the difference between MW2 - MW3 ???

[Ryyy]

Actually, even though im a 'ps boy' I might not pre-order this, might just wait 'til a few decent reviews hit the web..

Looks a carbon copy of MW2, not that MW2 was bad or anything...

[CEdwards]

Microsoft take take your money so you don't have the kind of shit that the PS boys have had the past month or so

:clapping:

joke..

good point though :/

[DavidsVTR]

I heard MW3 could be banned in the UK? Is this true?
